5-13-2021 TSS Visual Report of the Day.

"Booties Galaxies"

Today Bigzmey (Andrey) takes us on an excursion through Bootes from the fabulous skies of Anza Borrego in Southern California with his 9.25" Celestron Edge. While not always a primary DSO destination in the Spring, the constellation is home to numerous galaxies within the reach of medium and large size amateur scopes given dark enough skies. Also, Andrey was able to catch a glimpse of Omega Centauri (NGC 5139), a magnificent cluster which is only visible from lower latitudes for observers in the Northern Hemisphere. Congratulations Andrey in winning the VROD for today.
